I think Merlin became a bit of a genius at this. I always remember him explaining it to me, to think of AOF2 as a 'puzzle' game, in its own way.

The game needs to be figured out and walked around...

Thanks Ninja but I'm definitely not a genius at AOF2. The other member Murikov mentioned knows a lot more than me about the game. Although I've completed the game quite a few times with 2-4 credits on AES I've never actually 1CC'd it (because of Geese).

I tend to play quite defensively and counter the AI's moves. I hardly ever go for flying kicks because the AI is so good at countering those. One of my favourite tactics is to go for low kicks, knock the opponent to the ground and hit them in the face with a fireball as they are getting up. Very effective. The AI is quite stupid at times and can be quite repetitive in it's behaviour.

My Ecco collection is very close to complete now! Still missing Ecco Jr. for Genesis, Tides of Time for Sega CD, and the PC versions of the first two games. I haven't played Tearaway on my new Vita yet since I had a huge backlog of free games from PS+ already. I've mostly been playing Gravity Rush which is fantastic but I've heard nothing but great things about Tearaway too. And I got Rocksmith because, while I know how to play guitar I feel I need to improve and this will definitely be a great way to do that.

Just bought Sonic and the Black Knight for Wii in my attempt to catch up on the Wii/360/PS3 generation of Sonic games. Most of them got a bad rap, but I'm not one to just listen to reviews. Lucky for me too as I really enjoyed Black Knight. It's frustrating as hell when the waggle isn't as accurate as it should be, and it's way too short, but it's fun and that's what matters.

That ugly one on the right is a Hong Kong pirate of the Mega Drive version of SRnR. Still need to pick up the real thing sometime to complete the collection. I think my collecting efforts this year are going to be less about volume and more about completing some smaller collections (Ecco, Golden Axe, etc...) and also getting some more high dollar stuff that I'm missing like Crusader of Centy (aka Soleil in Europe).

Speaking of my Ecco collection, I just bought a small lot of Game Gear games on Ebay. All loose unless otherwise noted:

Picked up a Playstation 4 yesterday. No retail games yet, but I'm enjoying the games that have come with Playstation Plus so far and that will hold me over until Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Infamous: Second Son next month. Resogun is from the team that made Super Star Dust and it plays like an updated version of Defender. It's crazy intense and absolutely gorgeous. Outlast is a horror game that reminds a bit of Condemned (without the combat) mixed with the movie Grave Encounters. I've only played the beginning but it's been really good so far.

Here's something that I don't think has ever come up on NGFL. I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy II. Not the SNES game that the west calls Final Fantasy II but is actually IV, but the actual Final Fantasy II with Firion and Minwu and all that. The Dawn of Souls version on GBA and later the PSP version really put it over the top as one of my favorite old school RPGs of all time. The first time the game was released after the original Famicom version was for the Wonder Swan Color, and it even got a unique limited edition console made for it. And I just bought that console.

So, I've never really looked into the Wonder Swan that much before. Any game recommendations?

As much as I love my little WonderSwan it is definitely a problem seeing the picture on the screen. You need plenty of light and have to hold it at the right angle. I've heard that the SwanCrystal has a better screen. On Wikipedia it mentions that there is a screen light accessory but I've never seen it for sale. Would probably be worth getting a 'WonderCoin' too which fits over the d-pad making it easier to pull off special moves in fighting games.
